I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, Id never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.“Certainly,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.”Ive never forgotten that lesson.
